A comforting and easy one-pot lasagna soup that combines the flavors of classic lasagna in a cozy, fuss-free soup ready in 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes (1 can)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cups chicken or beef broth (low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 6–8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add ground beef or sausage and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and broth. Add dried Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes if using. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes until noodles are tender but not mushy. Add more broth or water if soup becomes too thick.
  5. Lower heat to medium-low. Dollop ricotta cheese around the pot and gently stir to combine. Stir in shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan until melted and creamy.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh basil. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with extra Parmesan or basil if desired.

Notes

Do not rush simmering noodles to avoid mushiness. Add broth or water if soup thickens too much after noodles cook. Use gluten-free noodles or plant-based crumbles for dietary adaptations. Freeze without fresh basil or cheese and add fresh after reheating.
